“Sally entertained at our wedding reception, booked at short notice due to a previous let down. She was very professional with paperwork, risk assessments etc and was clear in her requirements. She arrived in plenty of time to set up and pitched things perfectly for all the ages and interests, was not in your face but was popular with the children and parents from 1-45! Would highly recommend her services as value for money and would definitely use her again! ”

“I work professionally in the entertainment industry and therefore have very high standards of everything. We booked "Anna and Elsa" for my daughters party and I was astonished by the level of talent the girl produced. They had amazing singing voices and characterisation and kept all 35 boys and girls entertained for all of the 2 hours! ”

“We started out wanting to find someone who could perform Punch and Judy for our son’s 5th birthday party and discovered Jonathan and that he provided a full package of a two hour birthday celebration. From the moment the children arrived he engaged with them all and started telling jokes, even one or two for the parents who stayed. Once everyone had arrived Jonathan got the children playing a few party games, such as Musical bumps and Statues rolled into one, and after all the games were played each child was given a choice of prize had they been the winner or not. We then had a little break for food, while Jonathan set up for some magic tricks and the Punch and Judy show. The magic tricks were very clever, often giving the Children the belief that they had the solution only to be proven wrong and leaving them with open mouths plus many “wows”. The Punch and Judy show was brilliant. Having seen a few recently it was so good that Jonathan added a moral to the tale, which essentially is not the most PC story, meaning that the children understood that violence is not a good solution. The children were totally captivated throughout the whole of the party and from the comments I’ve had from Mum’s they all thought it was brilliant fun. I would thoroughly recommend Jonathan as an entertainer and should I need a Punch and Judy again in the future he would be my first port of call ”

“We booked 'Just Karen' for a morning of celebrations for the children at our day nursery in Leicester and she did not disappoint! We had a wonderful morning where children took part in lots of bubble play, with the grand finale of being inside a giant bubble! It was so much fun, not only for the children, but the adults too, who were also very keen in having a go themselves. The children were engaged throughout the 1hr 30 session and Karen was very patient and accommodating with the mixed age groups we had (1 - 4 years old). It was such a pleasure to be a part of it and watch the sheer joy on the children's faces. We definitely would (and will!) recommend to others. ”

“Jigsaw Entertainments were fabulous at our children's birthday party (age 5 & 3). The face painting was the best I've seen and the balloon models were a huge hit with all the children. We still have ours 5 days later! Jigsaw Entertainments were extremely professional, arriving on time, and did not stop until the party was over. They were great with the children. The children had a wonderful time and a lot of that was down to Jigsaw Entertainment. ”

“I would definitely recommend playful faces and balloons! Could not do enough to accommodate the party requirements and came with pre prepared balloons so no child would miss out… The face painting was excellent with 3d unicorn horns, everyone was very impressed! Thank you so much for making our party ace!! ”

FAQ

Answers to your questions about hiring a childrens entertainer.

The cost of a children's entertainer can vary depending on the location, type of entertainment, and duration of the event. On average, you can expect to pay between £100 and £300 for a 1-2 hour performance.


However, prices can range from as low as £50 for a basic package to as high as £500 or more for a premium package or a well-known performer. It's always best to get a quote directly from the entertainer or entertainment company you are interested in, as prices can vary widely based on their specific services and experience.

  • Make sure the entertainer's performance is appropriate for the age range of the children attending your event.
  • Consider the type of entertainment you want for your event. Do you want a magician, a clown, a face painter, a balloon twister, or a combination of different activities?
  • Check the entertainer's experience and reviews from previous clients
  • Ensure that the entertainer has taken appropriate safety precautions and is DBS (CRB) verified
